Jeff,
Thanks for the input. Is it ok to use the host ip address as input to
the system-printer-config tool for "server" on the remote PC? I have
also been trying to determine what to use as the "path" (with the config
tool above on the same setup screen) on that PC as well. I also added a
few responses below.

Yes, that is how I set up the local printer initially. Don't know what
to use for the host pc path on the remote pc. The help documentation
indicates this is the queue path.

I changed the name but the test page still did not work.

I did not change the hostname yet. I assume I don't need too, and I can have
a /dev/lp0 and an ipp printer on the same PC?
